sinx = -.71
sines are negative only in quadrants III and IV, where 180<x<360
one solution will be in quadrant III, 180<x<270 and the other in quadrant IV 270<x<360
reference angle is +.71 with x = inverse sin(.71) = 45.235 degrees
add that to 180 to get one solution of 225.235 degrees
and subtract it from 360 to get a 2nd solution of 360-45.235= 314.765 degrees
sin45 = sqr2/2 = 1.414/2 = 0.707 which is slightly less than .71, so you know the reference angle is very close to 45
